Another Day Closer

 The weather cannot make up its mind, one moment sunny and the next windy and cloudy with the temperature dropping. Hubby vacuumed the trailer and loaded most of what we need into it. Now our trailer is only 6' by 9'; there is not a lot of room ! ED is bringing a shelter so we can eat out of the rain and bugs and a small tent for herself and her dogs. YGS will sleep on the upper bunk. Hubby made a removable railing so he won't fall out. The bunks are very narrow. I'll sleep on the bottom one and Hubby has the 'table' bed. 

 My clematis is going gangbusters  this year,It has completely covered the small window by the French doors. It is a good thing that we put new lattice up and secured it well. New grass that we sewed at the north end of the old pond area is starting to fill in. Flowers are showing on the peas. We must get out and thin the beets and carrots. All three different coloured Hollyhocks are now blooming, magenta. deep pink and white. Hopefully next year I'll have some yellow.

This is the start of my English Paper Piecing  quilt. There will be 28 of these blocks [ 4 x 7 ] and they will be attached with white hexagons with a border of white and green hexagons - I think ! I'm on the fourteenth one now. The next quilt will be using up beiges, creams, taupes and purple with a few other odds and ends, in a more geometric pattern.

Our granddaughter is supposed to arrive shortly while her mom teaches some yoga. I'm sure YGS will be over to play with her. EGS is off racing with his dad in another province. We might try and take those two camping with us later in the summer.

I've some hamburger defrosting; now I just have to figure out what I am going to do with it.
